Boy, this drought is terrible. I'm a few miles south of Cullman and I don't remember the last good rain we got. Our grass is California-crunchy!
I'm having to water my garden but we'll be on vacation for about a week...my housesitter is in no condition to wrangle hoses. In my wisdom, I tried companion planting in squares this year, so it's not like I can string out a line of soaker hose. Can any of you give me some advice as to an adaptable type watering system? |

"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"
"We used this card with full color pictures, and the printing came out great. I put a photo on the back with the patterned background, which was a little busy, but still cute. Very well designed, great printing job, and the shipment delivered early!! I would totally recommend this card!"
"This birth announcement turned out great! The paper quality was better than I expected. The photo print quality was nice. The colors (blue and green) on the card were very vivid and nice. I am extremely pleased with them!"
"This card was perfect for my new baby and new house! The quality was great, nice thick cardstock and my photo came out great! Everyone loved them!"
"Personalizing this colorful birth announcement was fun and easy. There were recommended fonts and colors which helped start the process, but there were other optional fonts and colors to try also, allowing me to create just the look I wanted.The area for the picture is large enough to really show off my little one and the vertical design was perfect for the photo I wanted to use. The colors on the announcement are bright and fresh. I received many compliments from friends and family who got them. I was very pleased with the product and the service. They arrived within a week of my order."

A Guy in His Underwear Chases His Stolen Car in This Mad Short Film
Features By Scott Beggs on June 24, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? There are few sounds in this world worse to wake up to than the noise of your beloved automobile being stolen. For Jake (Hank Spangler), it's a fried out Kombi called Betsy, and he's probably wishing he didn't sleep in his tighty whities. Or that he didn't lock himself out of his house.
This short film from Dylan Kai Harris is front-loaded with potential — looking like the kind of thing Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright might make if they had teamed up in college. Ignition takes a high concept script and fills it with colorful figures (none more vibrant than the Naked Cowboy look-a-like at the center of the action) and clever editing that offers a shot glass of gasoline.
It's also a fine example of a movie that's 90% where it needs to be. A little amateurish acting, some timing issues and an indulgent Tarantino-aping textual trick can all be forgiven because there's a lot of fun to be had watching a burnout aggressively asking, "dude, where's my car?"
What Will It Cost? About 12 minutes.

text: Free weightless Daedric weapons glitchAfter obtaining access to the Arcane University (to do so you must join the Mages Guild), buy two cheap bound weapon spells. You can get the Bound Dagger spell from the Discount Spells shop in the Imperial City's Market District. Make the second spell you purchase bind a weapon that you want to keep. Go to the Arcane University's Praxographical Center (northeast corner) and create a spell that does Bound Dagger for one second on self. You can repeatedly use this spell to raise your Conjuration skill above level 25, a level you'll need to achieve in order to get the free weightless Daedric weapons. Once your Conjuration is at level 25 or higher, make a new spell that will cast Bound Dagger and Bound "whatever weapon you want." (If you don't see the option to create a spell that does anything other than Bound Dagger, you'll need to make sure that you can actually cast the other bound weapon spell. If you can't, raise your Conjuration skill even higher.) Make sure that you add the Bound Dagger effect first, then add the second bound weapon effect. Set both effects for a duration of one second. Cast the spell you just made and wait for the sound of weapons equipping. Immediately go to your menu and you'll see that the second bound weapon appears in your inventory. Simply drop the weapon and you can then pick it up to keep forever. The weapon has no sell value, but it's weightless and pretty powerful. This glitch can be repeated as many times as desired, giving you access to an unlimited number of Daedric weapons. |

Victoria's Secret Makeupa
The inspiration- (I would credit the original source but Pintest has blocked it saying it was reported as spam. If anyone knows where this came from I would be happy to link it directly to this gorgeous girl!)
Since there was not original link I converted the look using my best guess. Here was my result-
I recently got a sample of Stila's In the Light pallet from Sephora. I used Bare, Kitten, Gilded Gold, Night Sky and Ebony for this look. On the lips is NARS Belle De Jour.

This problem has gotten worse over the years and I suspect a soil borne virus? The potted plant is doing better than last years but still seems to be getting infected. Yellow Pear and Cherry in ground. After great vegetative growth they lose their bottom leaves up, very quickly after starting to fruit. This one in a 4ish-1-1 mix in 20 gallon smartpot was labeled black cherry but it seems like its crossed with a striped variety. Its been doing better than the ones in the ground but seems to be getting infected too. Overdue for a soil test in the garden and would like to implement things now to improve for next year. Plenty of OM and suspect it might be too much. Any good ideas and/or related threads is much appreciated! |

Looks like late blight to me... but I am not an expert.. |
There are quite a few articles out there. DH had this on his tomatoes a few years ago and was instructed by the county agent to clean his tomato stakes with a chlorine solution before using them the following year, even though we have winter freezes. Here's the Google listing: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=tomato blight petunias If this is what you have, someone in your area has infected your crops, and you will do the same to everyone in your area unless you clear it. It is a very serious communicable spore disease which caused the potato famine in Ireland years ago. This strain comes from Mexico, and is resistant to the usual fungicides used to fight it. It has been ruining potato crops in the US. It spread to many small gardens from infected petunias sold by a big box store a few years ago. |

Yikes! Interestingly enough the worst of the problems coincide with me doing petunias in containers.. |
Late blight doesn't work from the bottom up, but early blight does and septoria leaf spot hits so quick you don't see it coming. Lots of rain and you get this, sad to say. A few new varieties have early blight resistance (that's what's on your black cherry; see bulls-eye lesions on newly infected leaves with a mag glass). In my experience Yellow Pear is susceptible to everything. Septoria will hit anything. |
Ugh, I just lost all my tomatoes to blight too. Terrible stuff...my garden went from glorious to disaster in 48 hours :( |

Platanus: I grow tomatoes from seed. Usually heirlooms with no I agree with your statement on blight. Usually I prune off the lower branches when young as septora leaf spot seems to start on the lower branches and works its way up. I find that pruning my heirloom tomatoes up at the base (2' from ground level) allows good air flow and sunlight at the bottom of the plants. This seems to reduce my chances of blight as I successfully get crops every year without spraying I have a bit of septoria this year (wet, cool growing season). Just an FYI to all that pruning up the lower branches in youth seems to really reduce some disease issues I see For those that want to spray, chlorothalonil does work well. I prefer no spray if possible and lucky so far. |
I agree on the basal pruning, which I think helps set back early blight. I trimmed up my late tomatoes yesterday. We had three badly-timed rainy intervals this year that gave the early and main crop tomatoes a hard time, but I've been pleased with 'Ruth's Perfect' from Turtle Tree (OP, biodynamic). The plants next to these melted down completely with early blight and septoria, but 'Ruth's Perfect' is still carrying on. Also blight resistant 'Plum Regal'(f1) made a huge crop even though it got hit pretty bad with septoria. Today I'll finish taking out the old tomatoes and cover crop with mustard. |

So Tight, Kath and other interested parties,
After all of these threads, you've convinced me to prune back hard on my Gartenbonmeister--BUT, I don't want to lose all of that good DNA-or whatever the plant version is!!! Can I root even the woody stuff? Or, should I chop
thanks for all advice here. |

hi there DF, Yes use the growing tips as cutting material. Then if the soil is quite wet leave for 2 days to dry out a bit before cutting back, this way loss of sap is less. As it's a triphylla type don't cut quite so hard back as you would other fuchsias. Leave approx. 8 ins. of the old stems, that is from soil level. You can also remove some of the old soil and no more than a third of the roots and re-pot into new soil. Do not feed for at least a month, or until you see new signs of growth. Yes you can use the old 'cut-off' stems for cutting material, that is if the wood is semi-ripe or hard and is still alive ie whity-green inside the stem. Now be careful, because they must be 'the-right-way-up' for planting. So for instance when removing from the mother plant, cut straight across the bottom and at a slant at the top, this will help you to remember which way up they go for planting. If you cut stems of 6 inches long, then bury half when planting into a pot. Yes bottom heat helps, you will find that they root quicker, about 60f/15c is ok. Takes about a month, but this does vary. Wishing you success - Kath:) |

Hi Not much more to add to what Kath has already said. When I take my cuttings I root these as tip cuttings, these root quicker than any other type of cutting. The semi-ripe or hardwood cutting will give you some results but don't hold out too much hope for a 100% take that you should expect from tip cuttings. Depending on how long the hardwood material you have is and the temperature you are experiencing at the time another method is to take a piece of material 6 to 8 inches in length with no leaves (right way up as Kath describes) and place these around the edge of a terracotta pot filled with any general purpose compost(soil), water slightly and place in a place that is neither too cold or too warm and leave there for a week or so (just check that they haven't dried out). There will be no need to cover these, after a week place in a nice warm airy position away from direct sunlight and lightly spray every other day with tepid water. Within 6 to 8 weeks these should be rooted and you will be able to see the buds beginning to swell. When rooted pot them individually or leave in one pot for a larger specimen. When you need a lot of cuttings from a particular plant it is even possible to split the stem lengthways through a bud and root both halves, fuchsias are so accommodating. As Kath says when cutting back your Triphylla you need to leave a bit more stem and a few more buds on than for normal varieties. I was at Mike Oxtoby's nursery on Wednesday and the large plant that he has of 'Thalia' is in fact 30 years old and at the moment is just coming back into leaf, it is huge now, I would imaging over four foot high and it must be 6 or 7 foot in circumference. And guess who bought some more varieties , as if I need them….. Good growing Tight.... |

Email: Email Hidden Affiliations Centre for Performance and Practice Current TeachingI am Director of Study for part one in Art and co-ordinate the teaching on the first year Fine Art studio practice course. I also teach sculpture and installation on the 2nd and 3rd year studio practice modules. I also supervise the studio practice of postgraduates in Fine Art working in 3D or those working across drawing and sculpture. Research InterestsMy research is practice based, undertaken primarily through studio work. An ongoing concern is in probing the complex cultural, social, material and visual value of delicacy to find ways to analyse, interpret and represent the fugitive or visually elusive. On a formal level, this practice is typically characterised by a cross-fertilization of spatial and sculptural languages, processes and materials with those of drawing. I am currently investigating hybrid approaches to drawing, informed by collaborations with medics, archaeologists and conservators which explore commonalties between approaches in drawing and those in professions that must cope with the delicate or fugitive in their routine practice. I am particlarly interested in what the analytical tools of Art might share with invesigative procedure in these Sciences. This research is grounded in fieldwork/ site visits and has seen me working in collaboration with scientists and other professionals on sites from Hadrian's Wall to Kensington Palace. Most recently, I have been working with the underwear collections at Kensington Palace towards a catalogue publication and solo exhibition at the palace, Hidden Drawers (Jan- May 2013). This recent work also explores themes of attraction, intimacy and revelation in relation to historical traditions in drawing and values in contermporary fine art drawing practice. Explicit aims of this work are: identifying shared practice around mutual concerns with 'delicacy'; developing new studio methods; and generating forms of documentation that facilitate understanding of studio methodologies to establish a transferable model for cross-discipline knowledge exchange. This emphasis on method and documentation reflects a further research interest in finding ways to discuss, understand and share knowledge of artists' studio methodologies.

Soft drinks 'may need health warnings'
Comment on this storyWellington, New Zealand -
A New Zealand coroner says soft-drink makers should consider adding health warnings after he concluded a 2-gallon-a-day Coca-Cola habit was a "substantial factor" in a woman's death.
A New Zealand food industry association rejected his suggestion on Wednesday. It says "there isn't a labelling regime in the world" that could have prevented the death of somebody who chose to drink the equivalent of 30 cans a day.
Coroner David Crerar this week issued a report into the 2010 death of 31-year-old Natasha Harris. He found the mother-of-eight died of a heart attack. He said the large amount of Coca-Cola she drank likely led to metabolic imbalances which gave rise to her heart problems.
In a statement, Coca-Cola Oceania disputed Crerar's findings. - Sapa-AP

The US Air Force has awarded BAE Systems a $140 million contract related to the upgrade of 134 Lockheed Martin F-16 C/Ds operated by South Korea.
"This award is for initial development and long lead production for the program," says the US Department of Defence (DoD). "The full program will be added in to this undefinitized contract action in fourth quarter 2014, and a modification will be done at that time to increase the scope of work to the full program."
The initial work related to the upgrade will be undertaken in Fort Worth, Texas.
In August 2012 BAE Systems defeated Lockheed Martin in a competitive bidding process to win a contract for upgrading the avionics of Seoul's 134 F-16s. At the time, South Korea's Defence Acquisition Procurement Agency pegged the value of the avionics deal at $1 billion.
The avionics upgrade covers elements such as weapons, multi-function displays, and the aircraft's mission computer.
Separately, Raytheon won a parallel competition to provide its Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar (RACR) for the fleet.
At 2013's Seoul air show, BAE Systems said that it will initially upgrade two F-16s – one single-seat C-model aircraft and one two-seat D-model – to the new configuration. BAE will also install the new radars.
After extensive testing of the upgraded examples, BAE will then develop upgrade kits that will be shipped to South Korea, where a local company will perform the in-country upgrade work.
Upgrades of operational aircraft should begin in 2017. The US DoD says the first upgraded aircraft will be delivered in 2019.

text: 'Huge Increase' in U.S. Workers Delaying Retirement By Stephen Miller, CEBS 2/12/2013 Permissions Even as stock prices rise, unemployment drops and overall recovery takes hold, more U.S. workers than ever are planning to delay retirement, according to a 2012 report from The Conference Board, an independent business membership and research association. "It's disconcerting that the two years in which the U.S. economy seemed to finally, if fitfully, turn the corner also left so many more workers compelled to change their retirement plans late in their careers," said Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomic research at The Conference Board. "This may benefit some businesses and industries by reducing labor shortages and skill gaps as experienced workers stick around. At the same time, their delaying retirement can be a significant obstacle to the many companies seeking to cut costs. Mapping out the implications of the trend for individual firms and the economy as a whole means first understanding the drivers behind workers' retirement decisions." Dark Times Leave Long Shadows Plans to delay retirement increased across all regional, ethnic, gender and income lines, as more older workers prepare to extend their daily grind. A major factor in the growth of their numbers, the report finds, is the continued depletion of savings. The U.S. recession officially ended in July 2009, and the stock market has rebounded strongly since then. In 2012, however, 62 percent of 45- to 60-year-olds reported at least a 20 percent decline in the value of their financial assets since the start of the crisis—up from 42 percent in 2010. "The cumulative effect of drawing down assets in hard times—including the loss of future gains during the recovery—helps explain the current plight of older workers," said Conference Board researcher Ben Cheng in the same release. "Even as economic conditions improve, many are still relying on assets to get by. And even those who've made it through the worst find themselves needing to work past retirement age to rebuild savings." Retirement-Income Expectations Fall Interest rates on savings accounts, certificates of deposit, government bonds and other vehicles have dropped significantly since 2010. With low yields expected to continue into the foreseeable future, workers may be pushing back retirement in anticipation of smaller returns on their financial assets. Similarly, the generation-long shift from defined benefit pension plans to 401(k)-type defined contribution plans—alongside changes in Social Security and the increasing scarcity of postretirement employee health benefits—may be giving Americans an incentive to work longer, as retirees shoulder more of the risk than in decades past, the report found. Finally, better health and life expectancy have, quite apart from the recession-related jump of recent years, pushed retirement age steadily higher since the 1990s. People expect to live longer and fuller past age 65—and need more wealth to do so. Wishful Thinking? Workers Planning to Work Longer to Keep Health Coverage More than half of all U.S. workers (53 percent) intend to work longer than they would like in order to keep their health insurance at work, according to findings from the 2012 Health Confidence Survey (HCS), sponsored by the not-for-profit Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and Mathew Greenwald and Associates. However, the actual experience of retirees suggests that may be wishful thinking: Only 19 percent of retirees indicated they were actually able to work longer to continue receiving health insurance through their jobs. According to EBRI, it is estimated that a 65-year-old couple, both with median drug expenses, would need $163,000 set aside in 2012 to have a 50 percent chance of having enough money to cover health care expenses (excluding long-term care) in retirement, and $283,000 to have a 90 percent chance of doing so.

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful time at Jane's farm. Everything was just as described. The rental is on a working farm, and we loved seeing all the animals (goats, sheep, chickens, horses, donkeys). Jane was kind enough to show us the farm, and we were able to try her fresh produce, eggs, and meats. My husband was in heaven with all the fresh food! The room itself has everything you need, although as noted, there's no internet. Luckily there were lots of brochures, maps, etc. to help us decide what to do each day. Charlottesville is a quick drive, as are numerous wineries and the hiking trails of the Shenandoah National Park. There just wasn't enough time to do it all. Back to the rental, it was just what we needed to relax. It was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, the linens were great, the kitchen has all the necessities, and the air conditioning worked great. Jane was very accommodating and available if we had questions, but she never disturbed us. She was very responsive before and during our stay. We'll gladly return for another stay when possible. One last note, make sure you have a picnic by the river that's on the property...it's one of the most gorgeous and serene places I've been.
Lovely,modern, spacious, equipped and clean!
Just loved the unit. Bright white cabinets popped for a super clean appearance! White white linens and towels you felt spa like! The studio comes with everything you don't want to pack! Coolers, chairs, towels, and perfect beach movies! The pool sparkles but the beach is so close! Oh don't forget your charcoal for the grill! The owners are terrific and so is the assigned parking spot. Bikes on the boardwalk are always a great idea! Will definitely come back! The crowley

Leading lawyer arrested in UAE clampdown on dissidents
Twenty UAE dissidents held since April; Islamists the focus of clampdown By Raissa Kasolowsky and Rania El Gamal
July 18, 2012 12:56 by Reuters
Three Emirati Islamists, including a prominent lawyer, were arrested in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, relatives and activists said, extending a crackdown on political dissidents in the Gulf oil producer.
The arrests brought to 20 the number of dissidents detained since April. Most of them have been Islamists, targeted by a government clampdown amid concerns they may be emboldened by the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in other Arab countries.
Interior Ministry officials were not available for comment on the detentions. On Sunday, officials announced the UAE was investigating a foreign-linked group planning "crimes against the security of the state".
The UAE, which allows no organised political opposition, has avoided the political unrest that has toppled four Arab heads of state since last year, thanks in part to its cradle-to-grave welfare system.
But it has moved swiftly against dissidents and last year stripped citizenship from Islamists it deemed a security threat. It also jailed activists who called for more power for a semi-elected advisory council.
Pro-democracy activists and family said lawyer Mohammed al-Roken, who represented the seven Islamists stripped of citizenship, his son and son-in-law were detained on Tuesday. All are linked to the local Islamist group al-Islah (Reform), which has been the focal point of the UAE crackdown.
"He (Roken) was taken by security officials at 2 a.m. when he was out with the driver looking for his son and son-in-law, who were also arrested," a relative told Reuters.
UAE authorities are worried that the political successes of Islamists in Egypt and Tunisia after the toppling of long-serving authoritarian rulers there could inspire dissent at home.
"This is the first time in 40 years (since the UAE was formed in 1971) that we have seen so many arrests. This is unheard of," said Emirati political scientist Abdulkhaleq Abdullah.
"It's mainly aimed at Islamists now but this is a signal to everybody: zero tolerance for political organisations in the UAE, zero tolerance for Islamists, and zero tolerance for upfront criticism."
UAE Islamists say their ideology is similar to that of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood but say they have no direct links with the group, which is seen as a mentor for Islamist groups in the region.
Their demands include more civil rights and greater power for the Federal National Council, a quasi-parliamentary body that advises the government but has no legislative power.
The men detained over the past days are mostly from the more religiously conservative emirates such as Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah, which are also less affluent than the oil-rich capital Abu Dhabi and trade hub Dubai.
Many are well-known figures and include a ruling family member, who is being held at the ruler's palace in Ras al-Khaimah. Most were religiously active in their communities and some ran Koranic schools and religious institutes.
"The (Muslim Brotherhood) ideology is inherently political and that is what is the threat to the UAE. It doesn't matter that they are Islamists, the point is that they have a political opinion at all and that they say it," said Michael Stephens, researcher at the Royal United Services Institute based in Doha.
One Emirati activist residing abroad echoed that charge, dismissing allegations of foreign-run cells as baseless. He requested anonymity.
"These claims are just made up, to get public opinion against (the Islamists). They say this campaign is against Islamists but it's clearly aimed at all activists, people who are asking for political reform, who want more freedom of opinion," he said, adding that he was not an Islah member.
U.N. human rights spokesman Rupert Colville said the crackdown looked like an excuse to silence legitimate demands.
"It appears that national security is increasingly being used as a pretext to clamp down on peaceful activism, to stifle calls for constitutional reform and on human rights issues such as statelessness," Colville told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday.
Authorities on Tuesday also closed the office of the Arabian Gulf Center for Educational Consultations in the northern Ajman emirate, said its owner, who has links to Islah.
Diplomats and analysts say the perceived harshness of the crackdown could lead to a backlash among ordinary people.
"They are trying to get more stability but actually all this is leading to more instability, because it creates resentment and fear. And it's like cutting off the head of the Hydra, another head will just grow back," RUSI's Stephens said.

.- The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) is part of a delegation in Mexico this week, studying the impact of free trade children, women and indigenous peoples. Bishop Daniel Bohan, auxiliary bishop of Toronto, and a member of the CCCB Commission for Social Affairs are among the nine delegates on this mission, organized by KAIROS, a Canadian ecumenical organization that brings churches together around social justice issues, and partner organizations in Mexico.
The mission will consider alternatives and develop concrete recommendations that will be made to the Canadian government.
The delegates have meetings scheduled from March 11 to March 19, with human rights organizations, churches, labor unions, indigenous groups and women's organizations.
Half of the delegation will go to Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, a city along the U.S. border that is built around maquiladoras, factories that employ cheap local workers.
The others will go to Chiapas to learn about the impact of free trade on indigenous and rural communities and the ongoing issue of militarization. Delegates will meet with national human rights and economic justice groups in Mexico City and representatives of the Canadian embassy.
The delegates are expected to submit their recommendations to the Canadian government during the Global Week of Action on Trade, April 10-16.
The Global Week of Action on Trade is part of the yearlong, international Make Poverty History campaign, which was launched at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Jan. 27.

The holographic sight requires more battery power and therefore has a shorter battery life and can damage your vision if the lense gets cracked. They are usually bigger units. As far as any other differences I think they are negligible.
I don't need No stinking signature.
I don't have an astigmatism but have heard the EoTechs work better if you do. I like both equally but feel there are some advantages to red dots. If you want a good red dot look into an Aimpoint. I prefer the H1/T1

Aerosmith's "toxic twins" sat down with ABC backstage at the iHeart Radio festival and opened up about the still-ripe issue. Though the band joined Tyler on the May Idol finale for a performance of their new song "Legendary Child," and Tyler has since left the show, it's clear in the above interview that the sexagenarians still don't quite see eye-to-eye on Idol.
For one thing, Perry heard about Tyler's decision to join the show not from the singer, but from the media. His initial reaction was that he didn't even want the Aerosmith name to be associated with Idol. Tyler assumed the other members were jealous, which he even insists in this interview, but Perry disputes that claim.
Tyler and Perry have been butting heads for forty years, so we don't expect this particular conflict to derail the band, especially considering it put millions of new eyeballs on the aging rockers. And, in fact, the ordeal may have led to a creative breakthrough: Perry says of their forthcoming album Music From Another Dimension! that it's "the best record we have ever made, without any doubt." The same can't be said for the record's title, though.

I have a SQL 2008 database, run on 64 bit Win2008 Server. I created a pretty simple powershell script that automates a bunch of tasks. I would like this script to run as part of our maintenance plan. Anyone have any tips, or another suggested way to schedule it to run?
It needs to run as admin - I know this is not ideal, but am hoping I can have it execute as admin. I currently open Powershell as admin, and execute the script manually every morning.
In case it matters, the script: zips the backup file (7z) and moves it to our backup location juggles some files - keeping the latest backup in a particular network location, and moving what was the most recent backup into the #2 spot deletes the bak files
I am new to powershell and am pretty pleased with the time savings so far from the script, but want it to run without counting on me to run it.

Review by
cdiesel32 from sterling heights, MI
Lets me start by stating these are my first set of Polk's. I was debating between these and some Infinity Reference component or Kappa Coax. I have them in a 98 Accord being pushed with 75 watts RMS. Overall they sound good but not as expected. Mid bass is ok. Maybe I am dreaming but I really thought they would sound better. The amp also pushes a set of Kenwood 5 way 6x9's on the rear deck. The Kenwoods totally blow these away...maybe because they are 95 db vs 91 or 92 on the Polk's. Basically the Kenwoods are twice as loud. I have to compensate by turning gain all the way up on the Polks and to about half on the Kenwood's, then set the fader to F 3 or 4 to get a decent soundstage. Problem is then my Kenwoods are way under utilized. I dont have a sub yet so the 6x9's provide the bass in my setup, hard to do when you cant push the speaker or all you hear is sound coming from behind you...This is not something I expected when I was shopping. All things equal I bet the Infiniti's would be louder as they are 2 ohm so they would be sucking 100 watts RMS out of my amp. Just some food for thought...I probably should have thought of this when shopping but, oh well, I didn't. Once I get a sub I hope to tune to a sound that makes me completely happy. Till then...

On a Purple Beauty bell plant,seed from Botanical Interest given to me by a friend,purple and so far 2 red peppers.The reds are slightly larger than the purple ones that have ripened up to this point.They are also red fleshed like a normal red bell. |
Follow-Up Postings:
So what's the question? |
OK, I'll just ask cause I'm confused. Do you mean that you've got peppers on one plant the are purple and others red, without one changing color to the other? Or do you mean you have purple peppers changing color to red, or red peppers changing color to purple. Just not clear on what you are asking here. If it is the former, then you have a stem mutation. If the latter, then it is a normal pepper thing. |

Never seen a purple pepper that did not turn red when ripe. They even green when cooked.Ive grown Purple Beauties many times Don't leave them in the sun after harvest they burn up fast being purple. |
- Posted by deadhead61 none (My Page) on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 13:09
Didn't know that they would turn red,only grew them once before,in a large pot,plant never produced much,then a tree limb fell during storm and smashed it,end of plant so they never made it to ripened stage. |

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
This new Modern Library paperback edition includes an Introduction by Louis Auchincloss, and Commentary by William Lyon Phelps and E.M. Forster.
Newland Archer saw little to envy in the marriages of his friends, yet he prided himself that in May Welland he had found the companion of his needs--tender and impressionable, with equal purity of mind and manners. The engagement was announced discreetly, but all of New York society was soon privy to this most perfect match, a union of families and circumstances cemented by affection.
Enter Countess Olenska, a woman of quick wit sharpened by experience, not afraid to flout convention and determined to find freedom in divorce. Against his judgment, Newland is drawn to the socially ostracized Ellen Olenska, who opens his eyes and has the power to make him feel. He knows that in sweet-tempered May, he can expect stability and the steadying comfort of duty. But what new worlds could he discover with Ellen? Written with elegance and wry precision, Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is a tragic love story and a powerful homily about the perils of a perfect marriage.

Lupus Death Rates Vary by Race, Ethnicity, Study Finds
Posted 17 days ago by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Jan. 15, 2015 – Asian and Hispanic lupus patients in the United States have lower death rates than whites, blacks or Native Americans with the disease, a new study reveals. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes joint and organ damage. Autoimmune disorders mean the body's immune system attacks healthy body tissue by mistake, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. "While previous research has examined racial differences among lupus patients, the studies have primarily been based at academic research centers," said lead author Dr. Jose Gomez-Puerta, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "Our study investigates the variation in death rates due to lupus among different ethnic groups in a general clinical setting." Researchers reviewed Medicaid claims filed by more than 42,200 lupus patients, aged 18 to 65, between 2000 and 2006. Of those patients, nearly ... Read more

Certain Symptoms Can Delay Lupus Diagnosis, Researchers Report
Posted 20 Aug 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Aug. 19, 2014 – Lupus and other rheumatic diseases can cause neurological symptoms such as headaches and seizures, which can delay a correct diagnosis for months, a new report says. Treatments for rheumatic diseases can also cause these types of symptoms, according to neurologists at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill. Rheumatic disorders include autoimmune and inflammatory diseases of the joints and soft tissues, such as lupus, systemic vasculitis and ankylosing spondylitis. "Rheumatic disorders presenting as neurological syndromes may pose diagnostic challenges," study senior author Dr. Sean Ruland, an associate professor in the neurology department, and colleagues said in a medical center news release. The researchers noted that more than half of lupus patients suffer headaches, and one-third have migraines. Up to 20 percent have seizures, one-third have ... Read more

Lupus Patients Face High Rehospitalization Rates
Posted 11 Aug 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Aug. 11, 2014 – One in six hospitalized lupus patients requires readmission to the hospital within a month after discharge, according to a new study. While patients' disease severity contributed to readmission rates, other population differences suggest hospitals might be able to reduce rehospitalizations through better discharge plans and by addressing disparities in health care, said Dr. Jinoos Yazdany, lead researcher and associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Lupus is a disease in which the immune system attacks the body. Although researchers don't understand all of its causes, there is a genetic component to the disease, Yazdany said. Drugs that suppress the immune system can help control lupus but often with bad side effects. Lupus afflicts approximately 10 times more women than men and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic ... Read more

Groundbreaking Partnership Formed to Develop New Treatments
Posted 4 Feb 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Feb. 4, 2014 – In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the U.S. National Institutes of Health has partnered with 10 drug companies and several nonprofit groups to speed development of biological ways of diagnosing and treating common chronic diseases. The first diseases targeted by the Accelerating Medicines Partnership are Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes and two autoimmune disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The partnership will invest more than $230 million over five years on these initial projects. The data and analyses that result will be made available to all biomedical researchers, the NIH said. "Patients and their caregivers are relying on science to find better and faster ways to detect and treat disease and improve their quality of life," NIH director Dr. Francis Collins said in an agency news release.

Lupus More Likely to Affect Young, Black Women, Study Finds
Posted 29 Oct 2013 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Oct. 29 – Young, black women are at higher risk for lupus and suffer more life-threatening complications than white women, a new study says. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes symptoms such as fatigue, fever, rashes and joint pain. It can lead to serious organ damage, and occurs more often in women than in men. For the new study, University of Michigan researchers analyzed data from about 2.4 million people in the southeastern part of the state and found that lupus affected one in 537 black women, compared with one in 1,153 white women. Black women were more likely to be diagnosed with lupus at a younger age and during childbearing years, the researchers found. Along with developing lupus earlier in life, black women with the disease also had higher rates of serious health complications, such as kidney failure and neurological problems, according to the study, which ...

Headaches Accompanying Lupus Often Not Disease-Related, Study Finds
Posted 28 Oct 2013 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 28 – Headaches are common in people with lupus, but are not linked to disease activity, according to a new study. Researchers reviewed records for more than 1,700 people with lupus, an autoimmune disease that can damage skin, joints and organs, and looked at the headaches they experienced over a number of years. The investigators found that 18 percent of the patients had headaches at the time of diagnosis, but that proportion increased to 58 percent after 10 years. Headaches were linked to a lower health-related quality of life, but were independent of treatment specific to lupus and were not associated with disease activity or lupus medications such as steroids, antimalaria drugs, and immune system-suppressing drugs, according to the study published Oct. 28 in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism. "While lupus patients with headaches reported lower quality of life, the ... Read more

Moms With Lupus More Likely to Have Children With Autism, Study Suggests
Posted 28 Oct 2013 by Drugs.com
SATURDAY, Oct. 26 – Women with lupus are twice as likely to have a child with autism compared to mothers without the autoimmune disease, new, preliminary research finds. However, the overall risk is still low and the findings won't change the management of women with lupus, said one expert. "I wouldn't tell my lupus patients not to get pregnant," Dr. Yousaf Ali, acting chief of rheumatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. The study was undertaken to follow up on earlier, small reports that found that women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) – the most common form of the disease – may have an excess risk of having children with an autism spectrum disorder, said lead investigator Dr. Evelyne Vinet, an assistant professor in the rheumatology department at McGill University Health Center in Montreal.

Women With Lupus Seem at Higher Risk for Hip Fractures
Posted 4 Jul 2013 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, July 4 – Women with lupus – the autoimmune disease that can damage skin, joints and organs – also are at higher risk of a hip fracture known as a cervical fracture, new research from Taiwan suggests. Dr. Shu-Hung Wang, of the Taipei Veterans General Hospital, and his colleagues evaluated nearly 15,000 adults – 90 percent of them women – who had lupus. They followed them for an average of six years. During that time, 75 suffered a hip fracture. Of those, 57 were cervical fractures of the hip; the other 18 were trochanteric fractures of the hip. "Anatomically, cervical hip fractures involve the [uppermost area of the thighbone]," said Dr. Shu-Hung Wang, a rheumatology fellow at the hospital and a co-author of the study. "Trochanteric hip fracture occurs between the lesser and greater trochanters." Trochanters are the bony prominences near the end of the thighbone. The ... Read more

No Evidence That Lupus Drugs Lead to Cancer, Says Study
Posted 4 Feb 2013 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Feb. 4 – Drugs used to treat the autoimmune disease lupus do not significantly increase patients' risk of the blood cancer lymphoma, a new study says. The findings should help reduce widely held fears about a link between lupus medication and lymphoma, said the researchers at McGill University in Montreal. In people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the immune system attacks healthy tissue such as the skin, joints, kidneys and the brain. Medications to suppress the immune system are used to treat lupus, but previous research has suggested that this may put patients at increased risk for lymphoma. Because of fears about developing cancer, some lupus patients are reluctant to take their medication, and others stop taking it. This international study included 75 lupus patients who had lymphoma and nearly 5,000 cancer-free lupus patients. Researchers looked at most of the ... Read more

Lupus May Be Linked to Serious Pregnancy Complication
Posted 2 Nov 2012 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Nov. 2 – A new study suggests that pregnant women with the autoimmune disease lupus may have a twofold increased risk of preeclampsia, a dangerous condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. Preeclampsia can lead to serious health problems such as seizure, stroke and organ failure and cause the death of the mother and/or baby. The researchers also found that the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) during pregnancy was associated with a statistically insignificant increased risk of preeclampsia. These medications are used to treat lupus and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, although their use during pregnancy is rare. The slightly higher risk associated with antirheumatic drugs could be explained by the severity of autoimmune disease among users, according to the study, which was published in the November issue ...

Man's Best Friend Points the Way in Genetic Research
Posted 15 Aug 2012 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 15 – Dogs may soon become man's best friend on a level that goes far beyond companionship and loyalty. Researchers report that the canine genome, similar in many ways to the human one, is starting to shed light on a wide range of human diseases. What makes dogs particularly interesting to scientists is their breed structure – a type of artificial selection – which creates distinct and diverse lines of animals that range from the muscular German shepherd to the nervous Chihuahua, from the hard-working collie to the perpetually pampered poodle. According to a review article published Aug. 16 in the New England Journal of Medicine, the fact that most purebred dogs have descended from small, closely related parentage with large litters means recessive diseases are common among them. To those interested in genetics, that's exciting. It makes less common recessive diseases ... Read more

Health Tip: Help Avoid a Lupus Flare
Posted 25 Jun 2012 by Drugs.com
-- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health suggests how to help control lupus: Learn to recognize when a flare-up is imminent. Get plenty of rest and try not to push yourself too hard. Try to control stress. Limit exposure to sunlight and halogen or fluorescent lights. Be careful to avoid injury or infection. Don't stop taking lupus medications unless your doctor says so. Exercise moderately, but get your doctor's approval first. Talk to your doctor about any other medications you are taking to see if any could trigger a lupus flare-up. Read more

Strides Made in Diagnosing, Treating Lupus
Posted 10 May 2012 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, May 10 – Sometimes it takes years for people to get diagnosed with lupus. That wasn't the case for Marisa Zeppieri-Caruana, who had so many of the classic systemic lupus erythematosus symptoms – such as a butterfly-shaped rash on her face, a daily fever and achy joints – that her doctor knew right away that the 23-year-old had the illness. Since then, Zeppieri-Caruana, now 34, has been hospitalized 30 times and has had four mini-strokes along with numerous other problems related to her lupus. Most people who have lupus go through periods where they have active disease (flares) and periods where they don't have any symptoms (remission). Unfortunately, Zeppieri-Caruana said she's never had a time where she's been totally in remission. "An average day for me includes fatigue and fever. It's really hard to try to put weight on, and I usually don't feel like doing anything. I ... Read more

New Guidelines Issued for Severe Lupus
Posted 3 May 2012 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, May 3 – When diagnosed with lupus, one in three people already has kidney inflammation, and during the first 10 years with the disease as many as 60 percent of patients will have some kidney problems. Because kidney inflammation (also called lupus nephritis) is so common in people with lupus, the American College of Rheumatology has issued new guidelines for the screening and management of this potentially devastating complication of lupus. "Without treatment, lupus nephritis can lead to end-stage-renal disease, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant. But, not all types are this serious. It depends on the pattern of damage to the kidneys," said the lead author of the new guidelines, Dr. Bevra Hahn, a professor of medicine and chief of rheumatology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. Hahn said the course of lupus ... Read more

New Lupus Genes Identified
Posted 4 Apr 2012 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, April 4 – Three new genes linked to the chronic autoimmune disease lupus have been identified by an international team of researchers. The analysis of more than 17,000 genetic samples from people of several ethnic groups also pinpointed another 11 genetic regions that may be related to lupus and require further study. The researchers found that the genes IRF8 and TMEM39a are associated with lupus in European-American, African-American, Gullah (a distinctive group of African-Americans in Georgia and South Carolina) and Asian patients. The gene IKZF3 is only significantly associated with lupus in African-Americans and European-Americans. The researchers said their findings, which appear in the April 6 issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, show that the genes that cause lupus aren't always universal. The next step is to study the three genes to find out exactly what ... Read more
